Summary of Studies on CAC and CVD Risk of Individuals with Diabetes

Authors	Cohort	Outcome
Elkeles et al. 2008²¹	PREDICT	CAC independently predicted CVD events in patients with type 2 diabetes and no known ASCVD
Anand et al. 2006²²	510 patients with type 2 diabetes without ASCVD in London, United Kingdom	CAC independently predicted silent myocardial ischemia and CVD events in 2 years of follow-up
Malik et al. 2017¹⁰	MESA	• 37% of participants with diabetes had a CAC = 0 • These participants had a CHD event rate of 3.7% • CAC is an independent predictor of CHD and ASCVD • CAC = 0 was a more accurate predictor of CHD and ASCVD than diabetes duration
Silverman et al. 2018²³	MESA	Among participants with diabetes, 5-year NNT with statin was 75 if CAC = 0 and was 15 if CAC > 100
